Have you ever met anyone who doesn’t like butterflies? These whimsical and colorful insects are always a welcome sight in Colorado, especially when they are in our backyards and gardens! If you, like me (and my 5-year-old), cannot get enough of these majestic bugs, you will be happy to hear that there is a new butterfly refuge in Colorado that is downright vibrant and magical:

Welcome to the aptly-named Chatfield Farms Butterfly House!
